Premier League: Wins For Reading And Chelsea

Reading came from two goals down to spectacularly beat West Brom 3-2 at the Madejski Stadium in the Premier League.

Romelu Lukaku, on loan from Chelsea, had put the Baggies two ahead and with ten minutes to go, they looked set for a 2-0 win.

Reading, however, sparked into life and scored three goals in just nine minutes through Jimmy Kebe, Adam Le Fondre and Pavel Pogrebnyak.

Chelsea won by the largest margin as they thrashed Stoke 4-0 - although they were helped considerably by a nightmare performance by Potters' striker Jon Walters.

Walters scored two own goals with his head - before missing the chance of redemption as his penalty hit the crossbar late on.

A Frank Lampard penalty and a long-range effort from Eden Hazard completed the win for Rafa Benitez's side, who moved up to third.

Both Aston Villa and Fulham were booed off in their respective games. Villa had the worst day, with a 1-0 defeat at home to Southampton, Rickie Lambert scoring a controversially-awarded penalty.

Fulham fell prey to a late equaliser from Franco Di Santo as they failed to beat Wigan. The 1-1 draw meant the Craven Cottage side have only won twice in their last 14 matches.

At the Stadium of Light, Sunderland impressively defeated West Ham 3-0, with a thunderbolt from Sebastian Larsson and goals from Adam Johnson and James McClean providing the win.

Queens Park Rangers held Tottenham Hotspur to a goalless draw at Loftus Road, giving them a valuable point in their battle to avoid relegation.

QPR manager Harry Redknapp, facing his old club for the first time since being sacked in the summer, warmly embraced Andre Villas-Boas - his replacement at Tottenham - on the touchline before kick-off.

Jermain Defoe and Shaun Wright-Phillips had the best of the chances but neither could notch a winner.

There were also goalless results at Carrow Road between Newcastle, who are yet to win away in the league all season, and Norwich City, and at Goodison Park, where Swansea held Everton.
